PLAC Abdominal Crunch
Brand: Steelflex · Model: PLAC · Category: Plate Loaded
The Steelflex PLAC Abdominal Crunch is a full-commercial plate-loaded abdominal crunch machine from Steelflex’s Plate Load series, built for commercial gyms that want a loaded crunch with customisable resistance. An overhead handle with adjustable swivel foot pads gives a full, fluid abdominal contraction, a linkage works the abdominals and pelvis together, and side stability horns customise the load up or down. It is rated for users up to 120 kg (264 lb) and occupies 106 × 103 cm of floor.

120 kg maximum user weight
The Steelflex PLAC is the abdominal crunch in Steelflex’s Plate Load full-commercial line, built to develop the force of the core and target the rectus abdominis through the crunch. The overhead handle and adjustable swivel foot pads deliver full abdominal contractions with a fluid feel, the linkage design works the abdominal and pelvic muscles simultaneously, and side stability horns let the user increase or decrease the load.
Who is this machine for?
The PLAC suits commercial gyms, strength and athletic facilities, hotel and corporate fitness centres and premium home gyms in India that want a progressive, loaded alternative to floor crunches in a 106 × 103 cm footprint. The 120 kg maximum user weight covers most members.
Muscles worked and key exercises
The crunch targets the rectus abdominis with the obliques and hip flexors assisting; the linkage brings the pelvis into the movement so the lower abdominals work with the upper. Plate loading lets the resistance grow in small, measurable steps.
Build quality and adjustment
The linkage pivots on commercial-rated sealed bearings with continuous welds, the foot pads swivel and adjust, the handle sits overhead, and the side horns take standard Olympic plates to set the load.
Like every Plate Load machine, it carries a two-coat, electrostatically applied powder finish in black with a vermilion-red texture; 5 cm of rebonded foam under 10 mm of high-density foam with a CGPC PVC cold-latex leather cover, double stitched; dipped PVC handgrips; continuous welds at all pivot points; and commercial-rated sealed bearings at every pivot. Resistance comes from the Olympic plates the facility already owns, loaded on the machine’s horns.
Space and installation
The PLAC measures 106 × 103 × 157 cm (42" × 40" × 62") (L × W × H). The PLAC measures 106 × 103 × 157 cm (L × W × H). Allow about 0.6 m clear on each side for loading the horns and 0.6 m in front. No power is needed. Luxe Fitness delivers, assembles and levels the machine; plates are chosen separately.
Care and maintenance
Wipe the upholstery and handgrips after each session and unload plates between users. Check the pivot bearings, plate horns and lock-outs monthly and tighten frame bolts quarterly. Book a service visit if any pivot develops play or noise.
